Smut Gives Change a Voice

I’m over the moon to have been included in this collection of erotic shorts, not only because I’m in VERY hot company, but also because 100% of our proceeds will go to two important charitable foundations: The It Gets Better Project and The Trevor Project. If there’s anything I love more than erotica, it’s erotica for a great cause. Lending my voice in whatever capacity I can to the support of LGBTQ youth is about the best use of it I can imagine.

This project is also dear to my heart because it features fantasies. The author who published this collection, Arden Aoide, wrote some on-demand stories for people with specific fantasies who could not express them but wanted to. She gave a voice to their secret desires so they could come out of their hiding places and dance with the other dirty thoughts that erotica writers commit to paper every single day. I love the idea of giving everyone’s shameful secrets, taboo desires, darkest needs, and curious imaginings a place in the sun.

Anne Rice has a great quote in Exit to Eden: “Maybe it’s that we are all outsiders, we are all making our own unusual way through a wilderness of normality that is just a myth.”
